Well because nothing happened, not defending him or whatever but staring at your boobs is not going to harm you physically in anyway. There bound to be people like him around. Just cover up, ignore him and move on.
I covered up, not sure if I ignored him by just "what" him, and I can't move on just like that. Ignorance is blissful, yes, but a hazardous move when it comes to delicate stuff like these. Should I wait for something to happen then only for an action to be taken? rather than repair, isn't it better to prevent? If a creep just stared, then ok. Lucky~.. ! But if the creep's persistent, ikut, or got up and approach me or something more then just stare, what should I do? If anything happens, it would be partially my fault for not being prepared and take precaution. Luck favours the prepared. I want to be prepared. Maybe cos I'm a girl, I give stuff like these more thoughts.
If I get off the bus and while walking to my destination, the guy follows but I was unaware (later kidnapped/raped/whatever), it's not partially my fault for being so clueless in public? if while walking the guy walks quickly by me and grope, is it not my fault for being unaware that he's near, and the fact that I should be since the creep has been staring with malign for almost an hour?
What if it wasn't in such situation? what if the bus was full and the creep had sat next to me? I would have stood up, definitely, but what if I sat by the window? I can't escape, can I? What the hell should a girl do to even feel remotely safe in public?! It's frustrating to go for any public amenities having to take such precautions and so much tedious little details. If it was at night, alone, and lo and behold, sakit perut; cirit birit, in quiet public area, but a public toilet nearby; as a guy, you'll enter no? but as a girl... I rather look for 7-11 or pharmacy to get sakit perut ubat, or something that I make me able to tahan till I get some where safer.
I yada yada yada so panjang, you get me? I don't think girls should wait for something to happen without taking more possible precautions. I want to know more precautions I can take should my situation had a worst case scenario.
